"Two years later, the safety gaps that caused the crash have not been filled, an inquiry found on Thursday. A separate judicial investigation remains unfinished and no one has been convicted in the accident."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MassDemonstrations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MassDemonstrations</a> were planned in dozens of cities across the country.

A sign read: 'Government of murderers.' Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ center-right government, which won re-election after the crash in 2023, has faced repeated criticism by relatives of the victims for failing to initiate a parliamentary inquiry into political responsibility."The government denies wrongdoing and says it is up to the judiciary to investigate the accident. Friday’s protests reflected mounting anger over the disaster in Greece, where mistrust of government is common following a 2009-2018 debt crisis in which millions lost out on wages and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pensions</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicServices</a> suffered from underfunding."Read more: <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/europe/greece-protests-deadly-train-crash-intl/index.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/europe/greece-protests-deadly-train-crash-intl/index.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreeceProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreeceProtests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PowerToThePeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PowerToThePeople</a>
